Duce's Smoked Beef Ribs with Signature Sauces

Preparation:
Preheat your smoker with Hickory wood to 275°F.

Rub Preparation:
Mix together 2 Tbsp of hot sauce, 2 Tbsp of Texas rub, and 2 Tbsp of black pepper in a bowl.

Binding:
Apply the hot sauce to the beef ribs as a binder.

Seasoning:
Season the ribs generously with the Texas rub and black pepper mixture.

Smoking:
Place the seasoned beef ribs in the smoker. Reduce the heat to 250°F and smoke for approximately 4-5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 175°F.

Wrapping:
Take out the ribs from the smoker and place them on a sheet of butcher paper. Apply the rendered beef tallow and wrap the ribs tightly.

Final Smoking:
Put the wrapped ribs back in the smoker and continue to cook until the internal temperature reaches between 200-205°F. This should take approximately 1 hour.

Serving:
Carefully unwrap the ribs and slice them into 1-bone pieces. Serve hot with Duce's Wild Original Mustard Sauce and Texas BBQ Sauce for dipping. Accompany the ribs with sides of pickles, sliced white onion, pickled red onion, and pickled jalapeños.
